Which Modern Richmond Jumper Got the Yellow and Black Right?

The full RTSSG member feature, BEST. WORST. MOST FASHIONABLE. 🐯 The verdict on Richmond’s modern-day jumpers., starts with a Richmond question that deserves to stay open a little longer.

Across the modern era Richmond has worn traditional home designs, alternate strips and special-edition jumpers that changed details around one of football’s most recognisable colour combinations. Some became attached to major memories; others divided supporters immediately.

What makes a Richmond jumper feel right? Is it historical continuity, simplicity, the exact yellow, the sash, the occasion or the memory attached to it? When does experimentation add to club identity, and when does it get in the way? Which modern design would supporters keep if only one could survive?

Is the obvious reading actually the right one? What changes when the next piece of evidence is added? And what would Richmond or the people involved need to prove before the question can be answered with confidence?

The member investigation follows those questions further, tests the competing explanations and then makes the judgement that this Public doorway deliberately stops short of. Read the full RTSSG feature here.
